<p>Oh yeah lol, no they dont send such emails. We are assuming that its the second Thursday in December since that’s how it was for the last 2 years.</p>
<p>no, i’m pretty sure we do actually get an e-mail at some point telling us specifically when the results will be available. although there’s nothing to this point on columbia’s website, i’ve heard that they e-mail us about a week before the decisions will be released to tell us. so…hopefully sometime this week.</p>
<p>however, it’s pretty absurd to assume that it’s the second Thursday in December because that’s how it’s been for the past two years. the reason they don’t specify a date on the website from the start is because the date that decisions are released depends entirely on the volume of applications; the date varies from year to year, and that second Thursday thing seems like a coincidence (it would be a bizarre system considering that apps are due Nov. 1st each year).</p>
<p>Well the year before that it was the second Friday. Anyhow, it should be sometime in the end of the second week.</p>
<p>wow that’s way sooner than i expected. you don’t think it’ll take longer this year because they have more applicants due to the commonapp switch?</p>
<p>1-The thought that the introduction of Commonapp to Columbia would increase the number of applicants greatly is a valid assumption…but it still an assumption and not a fact.</p>
<p>2-I think that Commonapp would speed up the process.</p>
<p>it probably will. that’s why i was saying that the second thursday thing is probably not true. on the other hand, it’s unlikely to be that much later. i dunno. we’ll see.</p>
<p>Whether it’s because of commonapp or not, the number of applicants this year rose by 7.84%. It’s not a big enough difference to delay the general date (second week of december).</p>
<p>You’ll most likely get an email within the next few days telling you when the date is.</p>
<p>That 8% is a scary percentage.</p>
<p>It’s not ideal, but could be worse. U Penn’s applications rose over 18%, and Dartmouth’s over 11%.</p>
<p>But I believe that Columbia originally had more applicants (?)…so the smaller percentage still means that it got way more applicants. :S</p>
<p>More than Dartmouth, but certainly not more than U Penn. And it shouldn’t make a difference: percentage change is percentage change.</p>
<p>This put a smile on my face:

<p>Read until the bottom</p>
<p>^I almost closed it when I so “congratulations!” but then I saw something about “Yale” and read through. SO GLAD I DID. :)) It made my exceedingly happy. I am going to favorite it, so I can read it after I receive my imminent rejection letter.</p>
<p>^^that was pretty good.</p>
<p>@JayxBx,</p>
<p>Whoa, that was so funny!!! =D</p>
<p>This is one of the best fake letter I have read…THX for posting.</p>
<p>That’s not fake; it’s the actual rejection letter, at least in years past.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>Really? I can’t tell if you’re joking or not</p>
<p>The Yale part made me ROFL</p>
<p>I doubt that this is the real rejection letter…if it is that would be awfully cruel.</p>
<p>Lmao what the heck am I saying. That obviously can’t be the real rejection letter because I posted the real rejection letter.</p>
